Philip was on the right wing of the NDP. He recommended greater privileges for multinational pharmaceutical companies while in government, and rejected a "global warming" strategy while in the Transportation portfolio. Notwithstanding this, however, he was generally supportive of progressive legislation and was regularly endorsed by left-leaning groups in Toronto.

The NDP were defeated in the 1995 provincial election, and Philip lost the riding of Etobicoke—Rexdale to Progressive Conservative John Hastings by fewer than 900 votes. This was considered a major upset, and Philip was regarded as a favoured candidate for re-election when he ran in the redistributed seat of Etobicoke North in the 1999 provincial election. The Ontario general election of 1995 was held on June 8, 1995, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of the province of Ontario, Canada. ...

The character of the riding had changed since the 1980s, however, and many in the riding's large community of recent immigrants had no history of supporting the NDP. Philip finished third, and Hastings was re-elected by what most considered to be a vote-split among the Liberals and NDP. Philip has not run for office since this time.
